History YMMV / StraightOuttaLynwood

** "I'll Sue Ya" references Toys "R" Us and Neiman-Marcus, both now out of business. (Well, in the United States at least for the former.) [=EarthLink=] still exists, but it's nowhere near the dominant ISP that it was in the TurnOfTheMillennium. In addition, the line "I sued Creator/BenAffleck... Aw, do I even need a reason?" comes off as rather odd now, considering Affleck has since undergone a significant CareerResurrection.

** In "Virus Alert", you could actually buy stock in Euro Disney, as the virus did in that song. At the time it was still the name of the company, majority owned by Creator/{{Disney}}, which owned [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disneyland Paris]]. Then Disney bought out public shareholders in 2017, but since then it's become possible for the public to buy stock in the company again.

* AcceptableTargets:
** Creator/AtlanticRecords. Al had approached Music/JamesBlunt about parodying his single "You're Beautiful". Blunt gave Al permission, but at the last second his record label, Atlantic Records, nixed the idea. Al would go on to perform the song on live shows while wearing a shirt saying "Atlantic Records Sucks", and would vandalize the Atlantic Records Wikipedia page in the video for "White And Nerdy".
** "Canadian Idiot", although if you pay attention to the lyrics it's actually using over-zealous American nationalists as AcceptableTargets rather than Canadians.
** "I'll Sue Ya" mentions Ben Affleck as one of the targets of the singer's lawsuits, who in place of explaining why he's suing him states "Aw, do I even need a reason?"
*** The song itself is against any weird, greedy person who files a FrivolousLawsuit.

** The gag in "Trapped in the Drive-Thru" where the narrator must dig around for change because it's a cash-only business is increasingly unlikely. Due to the ubiquitousness of debit cards, cash-only businesses, especially restaurants, are increasingly rare in the United States, to the point that many people carry very little cash on them now. That was even moreso in foreign markets, and has accelerated everywhere following the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic.

** Also in "White and Nerdy", Al boasts about his Website/MySpace page being "totally pimped out". Back in 2006 when the song was released, [=MySpace=] was the top social networking site. However, it was eventually superseded by Facebook- which engages in no such ranking- and now [=MySpace=] is much more of a niche site that has nowhere near as many users.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is the "kinda burned" Eugene from "Trapped In The Drive-Thru" on [[TheStoner some sort of substance]] or just tired after a long day's work?

** "Canadian Idiot" features the line "Never even bring their guns to the mall". The Toronto mall shooting begs to differ.
** A small one: on "Pancreas," he declares that his spleen "just doesn't matter." Ten years after that song was released, he'd play a character on ''WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman'' who [[spoiler:comes dangerously close to dying of a twisted spleen]].

** The music video for "White and Nerdy" has a gag where Al's character buys a copy of ''Film/TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial'' from a shady character in a back alley, a reference to how hard it was to obtain at the time. Nowadays, it's more-or-less effortless to watch the whole thing on the Internet.

* ValuesDissonance: One of the lawsuits that Al cites in "I'll Sue Ya" (suing Starbucks afte he spilled a Frappuccino in his lap and thought it was cold) is a reference to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald%27s_Restaurants Liebeck v. McDonald's Restaurants]] case, where UsefulNotes/McDonalds' was sued over selling a hot coffee to woman who got burned by it. However, many people over the years started seeing jokes accusing the case of being a FrivolousLawsuit as tasteless, mostly due to information that dispute its supposed frivoulusness (like how the coffe was so hot the woman in question, who was 79 years old at the time, suffered third degree burns from it, which were so severe she required skin grafts).

* NeverLiveItDown: The joke he made in "White and Nerdy" vandalizing Wikipedia's entry about Atlantic Records [[LifeImitatesArt made people do exactly the same thing he did in real life]]. Due to this, as people still do that vandalism to that page nowadays, even 15 years after the song's release, now that page will be forever locked so only registered users can edit it. Wikipedia even has a comment about that phenomenon on Atlantic's page.

** In the music video for "White and Nerdy", on the line where he says, "I edit Wiki/{{Wikipedia}}", it shows him vandalizing the article for Creator/AtlanticRecords with "YOU SUCK" in gigantic blue letters of Impact font. People would [[WikiVandal try to repeat that]] for ''years'', to the point where they had to lock the page for a long time, even adding an explicit warning not to do it, and since 2017 it's been indefinitely semi-protected.

** The perverted antics of Cigarettes The Cat in the Creator/JohnKricfalusi-animated music video for "Close But No Cigar" are a lot more awkward in light of Kricfalusi's pedophilia allegations (one of his two victims, Katie Rice, was a layout artist on the video and claims that a lot of the harassment occurred during its production in John K's apartment). It's even worse if you see the AL TV special where Al appears afterwards saying that [[YouBastard "you're a sick, sick person" if you enjoyed it]]. Al, already a huge fan of animation, often spoke fondly of John K. (going as far as to appear on the DVD of ''WesternAnimation/RenAndStimpyAdultPartyCartoon'') and was understandably [[OldShame reluctant to comment when the allegations came about]].

* CrossesTheLineTwice: "Weasel Stomping Day", particularly the sequence where you hear all the weasels dying. There's a reason the music video was made by ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken.''

** "[[OverlyLongGag Well, he looks at me... And I'm look at him... And he looks at me... And I'm look at him...]]" used commonly in scenes with two characters staring at each other.

* MisaimedFandom: People who believe DigitalPiracyIsEvil tend to think "Don't Download This Song" is a straight example of the trope and uses it to back their claims. The song actually satirizes the phenomenon of music artists and record companies alike overreacting to it. Al himself is fairly neutral on the subject and doesn't really care too much if people pirate his music. What he's more annoyed about is [[MisattributedSong other song parodies that he didn't do showing up on file sharing sites with his name on them.]]

** "[[OverlyLongGag Well he looks at me...And I'm looking at him...And he looks at me...And I'm looking at him...]]" used commonly in scenes with two characters staring at each other.
